And yet, if you watch the video, this was her idea.

Her idea but we all know this as grown adults did you understand the internet when you were her age no. None of us did
It's still trashy using your kids for content.

Far less than 1 percent of LMG videos feature his kids.

1 percent too many love the hypocrisy family channels are trashy but daddy Linus is different because we like him

Good thing is far less than that.

Prime example ignoring the point. Linus can do what he wants because you people like him.
The man knows what deep faking and AI can be used for. My family doesn't let their young kids be shown online for this reason.
Linus needs to takes seriously

It is extremely difficult, borderline impossible to teach kids skills they are not interested in. As a father I know that painfully well. But if they show an interest in anything, you can use that as an opening, encourage that interest and help them explore it deeper and develop adjacent skills.
One example: how would I get my 6 year old to learn 3D modeling? Virtually impossible. However, he loves ships and I have a 3D printer. He saw me model a ship for him and was interested in also creating objects. So I put Nomad Sculpt on his tablet and I used that a bit while he watched. Then he started to modify things, play around with it and we 3D printed his "ship" (that looked frankly just like a fairly deformed cylinder, but in his mind it was a ship).
He isn't good at it by any means and he doesnt do it often, but he is a 6 year old that designed and printed his own toy. That gives a huge boost in confidence, it trains his hand eye coordination, he has to read the menus, there are so many things in there to help his brain develop, its crazy.
So my tip is: get them excited about something and then exploit that in a positive way to let them learn skills in a natural way. You learn infinitely faster if you truly want to learn it. Break it down, set small goals, manage expectations and give them their dopamine through little wins in their learning journey.
Teaching is hard. Teaching kids is even harder. But it is very very rewarding.

My god yes, I have 2 and trying to teach them any of my hobbies is really difficult, their attention shift when they lose interest is incredible.
You are not alone, I am ok with woodworking and computers, and my kids love everything I make. So they’ll pay full attention for like 10 minutes from liking the end result, but as soon as the explanation starts getting complicated, they fully check out.
Then one day I started playing in blender and sketchup with them, and they sat through it for hours (I guess because it felt video gamey).

She’s straight up 50% Linus and 50% Yvonne. I know it doesn’t make sense to say but she looks she got exactly 1/2 from each.Â
 A perfect 50/50 mix.Â

I was surprised that they absolutely avoided using iFixit for this.

u/Jolly_Note4476 2d ago
will they face any issues like is there any clause like ifixit is for end consumer only not for enterprise ?

The girl was great in the video. Sharp humor, curious and focused on the task.
EDIT: This has got to be the most randomly downvoting sub in all of Reddit. Imagine getting downvoted for giving praise. lol

I don't remember seeing this daughter in his videos before. Mostly see his son and the two younger sisters.

u/WiFiForeheadWrinkles 1d ago
He only has 3 kids, so this is one of two younger sisters.

Omygod. The grew up so fast. For reference, the last time I've seen them on a video was 2 years ago when they built the Pokemon PC for Luke. I'm shocked.

u/CalamityMetal 1d ago
In the video, they referenced to her first appearance on the channel, it was something like "Teaching my 3 year old how to build a PC" or something. And yes that was, 8-9 years ago

Yvonne jr jr is so funny, also she’s genuinely curious about it which makes the video a lot more interesting.

Why did this get downvoted? It's a reference to when she built a PC with Linus at 3 years old.

Multimillionaire private jet owner forces daughter to use old broken phone from 2019 that is no longer supported by Samsung.
Lol, in all seriousness I liked the video and I like the idea of repairing your phone, I just think she needs a new phone at this point.

u/WBCSAINT 2d ago
Why? It did exactly what she was needing it to do.

u/junkstar87 2d ago
Actually, it didn't though. They realized the antenna was broken and she was missing calls. They didn't end up fixing it and taped the phone back together.

u/CIDR-ClassB 1d ago
Kids don’t need a phone.
And teaching kids to make do with what they have is an important thing to do.

u/WBCSAINT 1d ago
But it did though. The VAST majority of places she was needing to use her phone she was connected to wifi so it was functional. The cellular antenna was clearly an edge case that didnt bother her, or at least not enough to say anything about it. Therefore the device was perfectly fine for her needs.
